Tropical rainforests and the need for cross-continental comparisons.

Trends in ecology & evolution - 1 Feb 2006

Corlett Richard T, Primack Richard B

Abstract excerpt

Ecologists have tended to overemphasize the common features of tropical rainforests on different continents. In reality, the five major tropical rainforest regions (tropical America, Africa, Southeast Asia, Madagascar and New Guinea) are distinct ecological and biogeographical entities. Although it is easy to find examples of at least superficial convergence between unrelated organisms in these different regions,...
